A small girl skipped along a green hillside. She has black hair streaked with white dye and a laced white dress on. White bangles traveled up her arms and around her ankles. The girl's eyes were even white but she could see everything around her. A bouquet of white roses with a red ribbon tying them together swung in her hand as she skipped along. The girl hummed a tune to herself and then came to a sudden stop. She held her head to the air and took a few sniffs and then became excited to the point where her excitement couldn't be contained. The girl turned on her heels and marched up the hillside to see two boys fighting like usual.
Pitiful humans, she thought, always fighting.
She watched one boy take out a knife and the other taking out a gun. The one with the knife immediately dropped it and then backed up in fear. The girl breathed in the fear and sighed with content. Her white eyes bore into the boy with the gun. The boy's arm then jarred back slightly and then the boy who had held the knife fell back lifeless. The girl watched eagerly as the one with the gun ran off in fear, she drew that in too, but what she really wanted was the soul.
The soul was the most beautiful thing in these human creatures. It defined their lives. Their hopes, dreams, hates, wonders, and emotions. Also it tasted wonderful too. The girl raced down the hillside to the dead boy. His body was eagle-spread and his lifeless eyes looked up at her.
"Don't worry," the girl said, "You'll be safe with me."
The boy's body arched as white tendrils escaped the boy's body and formed into a small white ball. The girl waited patiently as the white pearled soul came up to her and then disappeared into her bouquet of white roses.
Perfect.
She turned away from the unfortunate boy's empty body and continued to skip across the park.
Amy sat in the console room with the Doctor fiddling with knobs and buttons beside her. He was staring at the console board, pondered and then turned another knob 90 degrees before pressing a white button. Amy watched as the Doctor made a few more adjustments and then exclaimed, "Aha!"
Amy was startled by the Doctor's sudden outburst and she quickly got up and raced to his side.
"What?" Amy asked, "What is it?"
"Nothing really, minor adjustments, fiddly things, adjustments..." the Doctor continued on his in usual ramble and Amy knew that everything was alright.
A noise came from Amy's left and she saw her newly wedded husband, Rory Williams, coming down the steps. He was dressed in jeans, black thermal top and a vest. Amy rushed over and kissed him on the cheek and then they both sat on the steps. The Doctor turned to them.
"So," he said happily, "Where too?"
Rory shrugged, "What else is out there?"
"The Caverns of the Wailing Wakers, the planet of the Vectismules, the planet of Pelithicusmits and the Tunnels of the Eight-eyed Belthelmite."
Amy didn't know what a Vectismule was, she didn't seem too thrilled about visiting wailing people, and the creature called an eight-eyed Belthelmite didn't sound too pleasing either.
"What are Pelithicusmits?" Amy asked.
"Four legged creatures who are very temperamental and has an awful habit of spitting. Far more than that the planet itself is spectacular."
"You're taking us to planets of spitting creatures?" Rory asked.
"But you haven't seen the view from the Pillars of Pelithicusmits, just wait you'll love it."
The Doctor turned to the console board and pressed a few buttons, turned knobs and then pulled down the black lever. The TARDIS jolted and Rory and Amy clung to the rail for life as they tumbled through time and space. The Doctor grinned at them and held onto the handles. The TARDIS gave another jolt and they all knew they had landed. The Doctor was the first one to get up then Amy and Rory. The Doctor looked outside through the periscope and then grinned.
"We're here."
He rushed to the door and turned his companions.
"Welcome to the planet of Pelithicusmits."
The door opened and Amy and Rory gasped at what they were seeing.
The sky was a lovely shade of violet, blue and red that swirled beautifully. There were no clouds, but there was no need to hide the sky. Tall exotic plants stood much higher than the TARDIS and tall structures could be made out in the distance. One of their twenty moons were faint in the sky which added beauty to technicoloured sky.
"What do you think?" the Doctor asked.
Both companions were speechless as they looked on.
"Let's go."
The Doctor pushed Amy and Rory along the smooth dirt path towards the Pillars.
"Over there is the homes to the Pelithicusmits," the Doctor said pointing to the tallest and thickest trees in the forest, "The Amphitheater, where Pelithicusmits can challenge one another and over there is the Pillars."
Large stone structures before them stood so high that Amy was sure that they touched the coloured sky. They had bridges that connected from tower to tower and guards walking on the base of the Pillars.
"These Pillars are what defines these creatures, it is their pride."
Rory was about to say something when a black ball of mist knocked him off his feet. He crashed into Amy who fell too.
"Doctor?" Amy asked.
The Doctor placed his fingers to his lips and took out his sonic screwdriver. He whizzed it around until he saw something in view.
"There you are."
The ball of mist came racing back but the Doctor was ready. Just as the ball passed the Doctor turned his sonic screwdriver on and the ball flew back and collapsed on the ground. Rory helped Amy up and then looked at the ball of mist that unfurled into a human. The figure got up and brushed themselves off.
"Doctor," they said in a hard stone voice.
The Doctor cautiously walked forward, "Propheic?"
The figure nodded and pulled down it's hood to reveal a sharp featured face, long white hair and blue eyes. The figure extended to it's full heigh which was seven foot and he was dressed in complete black. A red trimmed cloak was draped over his shoulders and a mailman satchel hung off his left shoulder.
"Doctor," the figure said.
"Propheic, how are you?"
"Fine."
Amy and Rory just stared in amazement at the giant and then turned to the Doctor.
"You know him?"
"Of course," the Doctor said as if it were obvious, "The Propheic Messengers are the...well...messengers of the universe. They go to various planets and deliver important messages to aliens." - the Doctor turned to the Propheic Messenger before him - , "But why would one follow us here?"
"A message from the Flower Girls."
The Doctor's face dropped and became dead serious. Amy and Rory never really like that expression.
"Flower Girls?"
"Yes sir."
The Propheic Messenger took out a red trimmed envelop and handed it to the Doctor. He then backed up and transformed into his misty form and disappeared leaving the Doctor and his companions in a cloak of curiosity.
